Mark Thompson, Technology Expert for Prototron Circuits and popular I-Connect007 columnist, will be presenting a technical presentation at Tucson's ITT Technical Institute Friday, October 8, 2010 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The event, sponsored by the Arizona Technology Council, is open to all interested parties who wish to attend.

Thompson, always an engaging speaker will be covering three subjects:

Design for Manufacture;

Material Selection; and

Qualifying Fab Vendors.

Thompson stated, "I really like to give my audience something that will be interesting while being useful. Over the course of writing The Bare Board Truth, I have repeatedly received requests for advice on these three subjects so I thought it would be fun to base my presentation on all three of them."
